There has to be a windows-looking flavor of Linux, right?
I know ElementaryOS looks like Mac.
Linux Mint is what you’re looking for.
Does it have Clippy
Just throw this in an Electron app or something https://github.com/pi0/clippyjs
Or you are free to install the Cinnamon desktop on any other distro.
try linux mint!
It’s Mint for real. Mature, no-nonsense, get out of your way so you can get shit done on your terms OS.
Zorin OS is going for the Windows look
zorin emulates the look and feel of windows and is an out of the box that comes with a lot of preinstalled software including play on linux that allows for easier running of windows software.
I prefer mine to not look like Windows.
I’ve never understood why you’d want it to. Windows has like six design languages mashed together.
cinnamon, lxde, kde, and mate are all desktop environments that mimic the basics of windows ui like the taskbar, start menu, and windows with minimize, maximize, and exit buttons at the top. and all can be installed/selected during install on pretty much every popular distro. there’s prolly some others i’ve forgotten but those are all solid choices.
edit: whoops had mint listed but that’s not a de that’s a distro
Do you just want open-source Windows? There’s always ReactOS.
Zorin. But, tbh, imitators won’t offer the most streamlined, seamless experience out there nowadays. If you like the most authentic Linux experience while staying on the user friendly side I’d say go with Gnome. There’s KDE too, for an experience like older windows (eg. Win 7) and that’s pretty authentic as well, just not my cup of tea. Try them out and decide for yourself!
